Best bike
I bought 2 bikes on Lazada both were terrible one couldn’t use after 3 trips so I bought from here so I would have some come back. But this bike is amazing, done 10+ rides and it’s really well built and rides great. For the money you can’t lose and don’t waste your money on anything else. I was worried about only 9 gears but definitely enough too and bottom.

Sqeaky Front Wheel. Super annoying!
The stupid hud design with a rubber casket that touches the wheel hub that makes the super high pitch noise. Decathlon should replace for all 500 series customers.

    What a great service
    First, I just want to say HOW GREAT SERVICE I GOT, I was shocked with the professionalism and service I had the day of the purchase and the day I went to pick it up. It was caring, professional, and smiling and I felt so important. Secondly, you are the best SPORT STORE I have ever been to.

    Riverside Hybrid Bike 500 Riview
    "The Riverside Hybrid Bike 500 is a great bike for beginners, but it would be helpful if the manufacturer included a manual on how to use the gears." Here are some additional details that you may want to include in your review: The Riverside Hybrid Bike 500 is a well-made and versatile bike that is perfect for commuting, touring, and light off-road riding. The bike has a lightweight aluminum frame, a comfortable saddle, and a wide range of gears that make it easy to ride on a variety of terrain. The bike also features mechanical disc brakes for reliable stopping power in all weather conditions. The only downside to the bike is that it does not come with a manual on how to use the gears. This could be a problem for beginners who are not familiar with how to shift gears. Overall, the Riverside Hybrid Bike 500 is a great bike for beginners who are looking for a reliable and versatile bike that can handle a variety of riding conditions. However, it would be helpful if the manufacturer included a manual on how to use the gears.

    Riverside 500 is a good bike for daily commuting to work even on rainy days. Disc brakes works well on rainy days and tyres got good grips. Bike was designed to be comfortable. Must have strong legs to really go fast on this bike. Front wheel squeaking issue can actually be easily fixed by just oiling. Overall rating is 4/5. There can still be improvement on this bike definitely.

    Ordered 8 bikes in total. Almost all of them had issues (poor gear indexing, brakes rubbing, handlebar not aligned, bolts and pedals not tightened, chain not lubricated, tires not inflated, no grease applied to moving components)

    Overall it is a good bike. Price is just right. Used the bike since Dec 2022. Accessories are plenty. Have ride occasionaly everyway at average distance of 12km/ride, average speed of 15kmh, top speed around 30kmh. Longest ride is 25km Pro: Gear changing is smooth, never had a derail chain. Brake is excellent. Ride comfort is good. Handling is good on low and high speed. Con: Gear change from high to low has big jump. Have to make sure the speed is right before changing, especially from 7 to 8 or 8 to 7. If you don't have the right speed, its either over spinning or too heavy. The front shock adjustment didn't feels make any different in stifness. Weight is also still consider a bit heavy @ 13.1kg M size.

    Great bicycle for commuting and training.
    Coming from a lower end mountain bike I felt immediate positive impact in my speed and ability to climb. Gearshift was smooth. The suspension absorbed road imperfections well (adjustable). Comfortable seat. Do note you have to pay extra for essential accessories such as the kickstand etc.

    Decent quality
    When it first arrived, i noticed that there were some scratches on the bike frame and the brakes were not as responsive as the ones that i had tried in-store. There were also some screws that are already stripped such as the rear light ones and it is technically impossible for me to remove it. Overall, it is a great bike to drive but the QC can be done better.

    Value for money
    Bought this bicycle after the last one I bought from Shopee that didn't even last me a year before the cassette start getting cranky. Suspension feels good, gear change is very smooth and doesn't skip gears, seat is comfortable. Material is lightweight yet sturdy, compared to my previous bicycle which was very heavy.

    Fixed the squeaky front wheel!
    Overall a good bike aside from the squeaky front wheel. Took me awhile to identify that the rubber gaskets at either sides of the front wheel hub needs to be well lubricated with grease. I would put it down to poor design as I’m sure the squeak will be back when the grease is gone. Would like to suggest that the design team re-look into the use of the rubber gaskets rubbing against the front wheel hub.

    Squeaking sound from front-wheel
    To fix the squeaking sound everyone has been talking about, remove your front-wheel, remove the two rubber gaskets on either side of the wheel, oil/grease them well on the inside, then put them back. No more squeaking….at least for awhile. PS: It is not a disc-brake issue.

    2nd review - I am happy after my 4th ride
    After my 4th ride, I decided to raise the rating as it seems the last problem I had with the bike has disappeared. The gear skipping is gone and gear shifting is smoother. I am now ride it on the road and off road. Hoping to maintain the pleasure riding with it. The last star was for bike kickstand not being included but need to purchase separately. Else, it is a 5 star review rate for its class!

    Avoid - Don't Buy, buy a used bike instead
    I don't even know where to begin: Ordered the bike at the Emeryville CA store, bike was assembled at the store by a "professional". since I wanted new and not from the store scratched and all. Received Jan 13, today is Jan 28, 2022. It's a disaster after 5 rides. - Extremely poor customer service to begin with - No communication on order arrival for pick up - Material and quality of the bike is the worst - Lacks professional bike mechanics at their staged area - Gear skips randomly - A lot of unusual rubber noise from the wheels - Found plenty of loose bolts - Handle bar was misaligned

    A bit disappointed
    I received my order on time and well packed, color I ordered was black and I received a grey/red item. Rear caliper is rubbing against disc brake not centered properly, I don't see any room for adjustment, unless the caliper got hit and bent inwards a bit. I road tested and it was ok I still have to ride more to be able to see if it really is what they say it is. I still don't like the color grey. It should be black I guess I will return it.

    Great Bike for Exercise
    Purchased in Dec-21, great service by the technicians at Decathlon Store. I am enjoying my riding and approx. 10-14 KM daily which I am planning to increase in the coming weeks. One downside is the saddle is not great comfort.

    Chất lượng trong tầm giá
    Đã thử chạy xe trên quãng đường 40km, xe chạy tốt và êm. Xe phù hợp đi lại trong thành phố và các chuyến đi dã ngoại ngắn, tôi rất hài lòng về sản phẩm.

    I have just purchased the bike from Decathlon Bedok a couple of days back during the promotional period. This is my first proper bike in years. The bike was well-setup by the staff as well and gave many helpful tips for proper usage. The ride was good as I cycled all the way home from the store. Definitely a decent bike for leisure or distance-cycling.

    Good bike with good money. 28 inch tyer really helps to increase the speed a lot. Although the gearing can be better, its worth of the price. Just completed a 60KM ride, all good if you change the saddle with the fatty one can purchase from Shopee.
